No I get modding and I did a small stupid mod on my current case and looking to do a more serious one in the future but your case is build for silence and makingthat will prob not affect that, but realy no effense but that one corner, and I don't know if you have fixed it already, is a bit out of perportion from the others. Either I'm looking wrong or something but it just looks that way to me. But then again I won't able to do that kind of job better my self :-)

Yeah sorry I took a closer look at it and its only the angle of the case but it still looks a bit funny to me, but sorry if I am wrong.
But what my actual point is is that that case isn't realy meant for modding besides the fact that the case is so damn expensive but hey, its your choice :-)

Can't wait ;) Let's see what you can tweak out of it - hoping for a nice mod!

When I saw P180, I thought you meant Pentium 180 8O

Where are you going to use the 1/4" NPT fittings exactly?

Wrt mounting the rad, I would have mounted it in the front, immediately below the drive bays, standing vertically.....or flat on the floor of the case.....

If it is not possible, then at least manufacture a very nice plexi housing to mount the rad on top of your pc......so, a shroud that goes around it, it will look like a little extension box on top of your case.....

The fittings are gonna be used on my RES, and one on the pump...

Both your Ideas are good, but sadly both wont work, look at the design of the case...but hold on...bottom i'll go try to figure out tonight!

[EDIT] Saw your edit now...I was thinking about that, but I'm not skilled enough to make one like that!

Hey wikid you can also try mounting a nice grill fan in the middel of the window, like a biohazzard or something to your taste, but you shouldn't cut hole in the window, only sink the fan a bit into the window or just screw it onto thewindow it might look cool :-)

There's no need for a side fan in his machine, he's watercooling everything.

I see what you mean, but a random fan grille stuck on the side panel would be redundant.

But it would look cool if your case's paint job is like cool weird things like that fan grill then the grill would only add to the theme of the case
